Sadly it looks like the Reno races are finished.

It’s not always lack of respect but world events that can effect the marking of a grave. I have an older sister that’s has traced our family quite successfully. Knowing I traveled the western part of the US for fun and profit she would send me on outings to find places and people. Mt dad’s mom died ...

Alaska just seems to call to some folks. 1983 my wife and I drive my CJ-8 from L.A. I n the early 80’s it was as still an adventure. Services few and far between. You had to plan each stage. And a shortwave was a must. A CB might work but it was a gamble. Most of the way we camped but did spend a fe...

Regardless of what medical corporations have for “rules” the doctor makes all the difference. I had one that was pretty much useless. No matter the problem it was either another pill or physical therapy. For those that don’t know, all physical therapy can do is increase strength and flexibility. Unt...

Not surprised at all. Two things to consider. The plastic used for drum, particularly the tops is both very dense and much thicker than water jugs. The other is the density if water is much greater than folks think.

Find all you want. But try finding one, regardless of political affiliation that actually adheres to their oath of office. And don’t call them on it, they get really defensive and accusatory.

I still want to know what the "mishap" was that cause the pilot to eject from a perfectly good airplane. Did he suddenly feel like joining the paratroops? Then again, it was a Marine, so maybe he dropped his crayon MRE and was reaching for it when he pulled the ejection handle. Now before ...

Looks good Jeep . . . I can get a 380 in all the jeans pockets and each boot and 1 in the holster for 49 rounds on tap. but I do need to cinch the girth a bit tighter :) If I need that many rounds I'll fall back on a quote that while probably true just grates on my nerves. "A handgun is what y...

It does fit in a jeans pocket.

Though mostly this goes in my pocket.

I’ve made something like that out of pvc for my shotguns. I have to admit the quality of that’s a lot better than mine.

Darn Ray, sounds like you faced the same problems I did before I retired. What do you do?

405 freeway just south of the 10 freeway enroute to Thousand Oaks. For those that know where that is.
We had no idea what might happen next. L.A. next?

As it's 9-11 it's time to post how a group of local university kids remember.

In my 20 for HD I load alternatingly slugs and buck. You don't need any of those fancy/expensive slugs. The good old foster slugs are more than sufficient .

I have one of those barrel devices that has various arbors for everything from .22 to .45. They work great at shorter distances, and even at longer distances on days when the light isn't bright. Over the years it's save quite a bit of ammo. It beats the heck out of looing through a barrel, if that's...

I had a similar problem on a Smith 1917. The front sight just never worked for me so I had a smith install this.

Kind of hard to see but it has a red ramp.

I always wondered if the sight of the bullets staring right at you was more intimidating than a semi auto.

A case of reaping what you have sown.

Hmm, I’m sure others will agree, getting shot at looks nothing like that. Maybe getting shot does but so far I don’t have any experience in that

The earth is cooling. No wait, it’s warming. Either way we’re all going to die. But that will be long for the millions of years it will take to figure out which side was right. Heck, by the time anything of consequence happens we better already by off this rock or we’ll be extinct. Probably from som...

Literally down the street sits the USS Iowa. It is a marvel of marine engineering. Especially when you consider how fast it went from concept to finished vessel. But it was also far from perfect. It was modified several times to correct initial design flaws and to update it to newer technology as it...

Saw an interesting thing yesterday. “Scientists” discussing the hunting techniques of the Neanderthal based on their assumptions on it’s physical ability. Arbitrarily deciding that it would be able to sprint as opposed to run long distances. Basically, the piled assumption upon assumption then claim...

After I made "The Perfect Jeep Gun" out of my .410 Mossberg 500 I got to thinking that something similar for my truck would be a good idea. So, already having an 18" barrel for my Franchi 48L (long story about poor ex-GI) 20 ga, I found the right size soft case and set it up for quick...

Well that just ate up many minutes. I’m amazed it ended up upright. It is surprising intact and with the sheets still visible. The cold water must prevent decay and damage from marine parasites. I found the position of the ships wheel fascinating. And in the rendering no significant hull damage is v...

I’ve had similar problems with my 39A as well as other.22 lr rifles. I tried several things but found Dawn dishwashing liquid on a chamber brush works wonders.

Heck it cleans petroleum covered birds and that stuff is waxy.

When my decades old aluminum shed finally gave up the ghost I replaced it with a rubbermade. Went from 8x10 to 10x12. Amazingly I also got rid of most of the stuff in the old shed. And wondered why I kept it all these years.

On of the things home invaders are doing here is ambushing someone taking out the trash at night. Sad to say I now carry going to the trash can. This is my around the house gun.

It’s accuracy enough to make up for the lack of power and I don’t think your typical Antifa soy boy is any tougher than a coyote. My experience is from Army training, but not actual combat. Few humans have the willpower to continue like a wild animal after sustaining a serious injury. A 22 Mag can ...

You know the feds mandate all sorts of safety equipment on vehicles. It’s time they mandate fire suppression systems on electric vehicles. Heck, they have them on aircraft. And some vessels. Of course that would require annual inspections to ensure proper operation. They would be the same sort of ma...

Amazing how similar the removal of monuments and the revision of history that happens daily is to what the main character in Orwell's 1984 did at work.

Most may already know this but at some point Mossberg went from a single action bar to double action bars. If you’re looking for a replacement fore grip make sure you get the correct one. I’m not sure why they went to double bars. I suppose the myth that single bar guns can bind might have driven th...

As I’ve mentioned my Perfect Jeep Gun (PJG) is a Mossberg 500 in .410. Prior to that use it was used by my mom as a home defense gun. I purchased a cruiser grip for it. And that shortened it up to where it was easily used in her condo. In making it the PJG I bought a youth stock to make both easier ...

Back when they first became reliable I got one for use at work. The idea ws to get an overhead view of equiment without having to climb. Back then the video was recorded on an SD card and had to be viewed on a computer. It worked, but I found I was spending a lot of more time than if I had just clim...

Jim is old, please excuse him. 238 Just 'cuz it's old don't mean it ain't right. :lol: Old, well then you'll remember this old saying. Don't feel pregnant. I carry this from time to time. If six rounds won't do it and he's close enough I will set him on fire. It's not a 30 caliber though. https://i...

While I like my 42 it is on the larger size. My preferred.380 is an AMT single action Backup.

I’m partial to the Mossberg 500. My first shotgun was a 410 Mossy. Still have it and use it. It’s now 61 years old and other than keeping it clean and replacing the magazine spring (my fault it didn’t wear out) nothing else has been needed.

I live in an unincorporated area of L A. But across the street is L A City. The service level and response times are night and day. As a simple example my next door neighbor had her catalytic converter stolen. A sheriff’s deputy came out, took the report & photos. He also had me email them my vi...

I’ve been using something similar for well over a decade. I think it was designed for sub guns but the velcro fit with my take downs. I ended up with a couple as this one became the home for The Perfect Jeep Gun.

That’s LASD, Los Angeles Sheriff Department. Although when the Sheriff and LAPD used to open their ranges to the public I shot at both. Some very good people ran the ranges and would offer help if someone was struggling. Today the ranges are closed to the public for liability reasons. Too bad becaus...

If you like to tinker things like this are a joy. But let's face it, the 45-70 is enough gun for anything that walks the planet with the right load.

I always liked the look of the full length stock. But I've never found a lefty in any caliber. I know they have been made, but finding one is rare.

Friend of mine was worried about things if the nukes started flying and wanting to be prepared to live afterwards. Telling me about what is being said on podcasts and stuff had him really worked up.

Well, shooting hogs with what is essentially a varmit cartridge the results are what is to be expected.

Yes, likely to loose the legal battle. But the fight will cost firearms groups. Whereas the politicians have no worry about financial wherewithal.

I wonder if the politicians can be held legally responsible for violating their oath of office.

Beautiful rifles but hens teeth around here. That would be a great price. By the way, I always thought Ruger stole that styling for their 96. I always think it's funny when someone says the Rugers 'look way too weird to be taken seriously' as leverguns, then hold up the Winchester 88, or Savage 99,...

You know, I'm just the opposite. Tell me you don't want me somewhere and I'll stay around just to irritate you. It would be easier for you to maybe ignore those with whom you donot agree.
